Locked for becoming unnecessarily unpleasant and threatening to get worse.

Upon request, I'm reopening this. Let's resume the substance of the discussion, not the tone, eh?

i always thought you were a bit of a dreamer... ahem.

It doesn't have to be called BG.

 

But BG is a established, recognized name so if the game is made with the spirit of BG, and featuring similar gameplay, why not call it BG to attract attention and potentially generate increased interest for it.

Nah. They can call it Forgotten Realms Reborn or How 4th Edition Screwed Up a Good System and Setting.

now you're just being cynical, raven.

 

that's the brand recognition thing we were getting at earlier, azure. it is a valid marketing ploy.

i still say gimme Waterdeep

 

we've had Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter, Luskan, Akthala (sp?), Targos, Easthaven, Kuldahar

 

bound to be more i've forgotten of course, but i don't think we've had Waterdeep

I think moving to Cormyr would be great. The Vast Swamp could be a fantastic area for a game.

 

But to be honest, I'm happy moving away from D&D altogether for a bit.

The Cormyr module for NWN was pretty good, but I'd rather follow MotB's footsteps and head off east or south and away from the Sword Coast. It would be hard to justify calling it BG3, perhaps?

 

I do hope they continue making DnD-based games, so that there's an alternative to the Oblivion/Fallout player-skill action model.

what about Zhentil Keep?

That have alreayd been games set in, and around Waterdeep. There was HOTU, and there's the EOTB series both mostly set in UM/UD; but *shrug* there's your precious Waterdeep.

maybe i should hunt around for NWN1 again then

 

i never actually tried out the expansions - mainly coz the OC bored the hell outta me

hotu is pretty good, but sou is kinda sucky like the OC.

The Sword Coast is a nice setting. Thanks to BG1 and its beautiful 2D backgrounds, it made the place come alive.

Obsidian could clearly do a good job with BG3 - making an excellent new D&D 3.5E game and throwing references to the Bhaalspawn saga. The only problem in that regard is that I am not sure Obsidian could handle the workload considering how many other games it is already developing.

Well they could drop them or delay them. They wouldn't have the sales of a BG3 2nd ed or 3.x ed game would.

Ok, 4e DnD sucks, but 4e Realms... Is an entirely different thing. And not in a good way.

Don't LOL me, its true.

It's funny because it's true.

I think that our dear and lovable Dark Raven has a severe phobia of change and getting with the times.

Only a close few are allowed to touch my body.

Um... Okay.

Only a close few are allowed to touch my body.
